Imagine this duck looking up at you in person! This painting's exaggerated sense of perspective gives us a "person's-eye" view of this friendly creature. With just a suggestion of feathers, the artist uses the rounded form of the duck to fill the canvas, while dynamic angling of the tail and careful placement of the head and beak make the overall composition surprisingly rhythmic. The bold use of color pits complementary oranges and blues, even with the use of a shimmering outline in these colors. The underpainting in earth tones adds a depth to the background, with the suggestion of leaves floating around the duck giving the painting its "electric" name.
